MILWAUKEE – The 2022 Purdue Soccer season begins with a preseason exhibition game at Marquette on Wednesday, August 10, in Milwaukee.
Kickoff at MU's Valley Fields is set for 4 p.m. ET / 3 p.m. CT.
Wednesday marks the first of two exhibition matches for the Boilermakers, while it is the second game of the preseason for the Golden Eagles.
Purdue opened preseason practice on August 2. The Old Gold and Black conclude the week at home against Illinois State on Saturday, August 13, at 1 p.m. ET, at Folk Field. Admission will be free for all fans to all preseason and regular-season games in 2022.
The regular season commences against No. 15 USC on Thursday, August 18, at 7 p.m. ET. Purdue's complete schedule can be found at PurdueSports.com/Soccer.
Marquette began preseason action on Sunday with a home loss to Wisconsin. The Golden Eagles were 9-8-0 in 2021 and 5-5-0 in Big East action.
The two teams meet in an exhibition game for the second consecutive year, after Purdue and Marquette played to a 2-2 draw at Folk Field to conclude the 2021 preseason.
That exhibition match was the precursor to a memorable 2021 campaign, as the Boilermakers went 15-4-3, their second-best record and second-most wins in team history behind only 2007. Purdue made the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2009, and seventh time in program history, and advanced to the second round for the fourth time and first since 2007. The squad went 8-2-0 in the Big Ten and notched a runner-up finish, both tied for their best-ever marks.
Purdue finished the year ranked No. 24 in the final United Soccer Coaches Top 25 national poll, appearing in the postseason poll for the third time ever and the first since 2007. Individual accolades included an All-America honor, two All-Region accolades, five All-Big Ten Team awards, the Big Ten Forward of the Year and the first two NWSL draft picks in team history.
